Yes, there are.

The community portal has tons of blogs and videos for a newbie to get started on Adobe Captivate. We have curated some posts and videos and arranged them progressively for you to learn Captivate.

This tutorial/list, by no means, is complete and comprehensive.

We have listed down few high-level topics that span across most of Captivate’s features.

  • Creating projects in Captivate – Learn how to create a responsive and non-responsive project.
  • Creating recording and software simulations – Learn how to record a video demo and product simulation for training.
  • Overview of objects in Captivate – Learn what an interactive or a non-interactive object is.
  • Creating quizzes and assessments – Create quizzes and evaluate your learners’ knowledge.
  • Previewing and publishing your project – Publish your project across devices, form factors, and formats.

Hey Saurav,

Thank you for such a comprehensive list of start off points. I am new to Captivate 2017, but have used older versions of Captivate, and this list is an awesome reference for getting back into the saddle.
